During the parental interview in a child abduction case, what information should responding officers seek to locate the missing child?

What will be an ideal response?


During the parental interview in a child abduction case, responding officers should quickly compile accurate physical characteristics of the child, such as his or her appearance, age, and clothing, and officers should obtain recent photographs and videotapes. Responding officers should attempt to include full criminal- and psychiatric-history checks of all family members who had access to the child, as well as acquire a local agency history of any prior abuse or neglect calls to the home. In separate interviews of family members, responding officers should question whether the child's absence shows a significant deviation from established patterns of behavior.
